Please keep in mind that your response needs to match the question. Like, "Hey! Do you want to eat lunch today?" "Sorry. So, you can use this as a response to a request for your time. The next expression is, "I don't have time today." "I don't have time today." This expression can be changed to something like, "I don't have time this week," or "I don't have time this afternoon." So, this expresses that you're busy, yes, and you want to express too to the other person you don't have time for that thing. You could say, for example, "My schedule is full today," or "My schedule is full this week." But, if you want to express that you are at 100% capacity for your time, you can say, "My schedule is full." My schedule is full. "My schedule is full," that's what this describes. So, with work, or with activities, with other responsibilities, whatever it is, your schedule is 100% at capacity. So, everything that you could possibly put inside your schedule is there already. "My schedule is full." "My schedule is full." So, "full," in this case, means that there's a lot of something. ![]() But, maybe there's a better way, a more polite way to express your situation. So, yes, you can say, "I'm busy," or "I'm busy right now." But, I want to talk about some other expressions you can use that give a little more information than just "I'm busy." So, yes, you can say this to someone you are close to perhaps. But, if you tell someone, "I'm busy," when they ask you for something, it might sound aggressive or a little bit cold. I want to begin this lesson with the most basic way to express this feeling, "I'm busy." "I'm busy." This is 100% correct. ![]() In this lesson, I'm also going to talk about some ways to reschedule your plans, or to cancel plans, and so on. In this lesson, I'm going to talk about some expressions you can use when you're busy. ![]()
